Zinedine Zidane Reacts To Shock Loss

Zinedine Zidane Reacts To Shock Loss

Zinedine Zidane

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane was left seething after seeing his side slump to a 4-1 shock defeat to Valencia on Sunday night.

It was the first time in the club's history that Real had conceded three penalties in the same match, setting an unwanted record for Los Blancos.

Karim Benzema had fired Real in front but then the game slipped away from Los Blancos, and Zidane said that there could not be any excuses for the result.

"We can look for one thousand excuses and everyone can find any reason they want to explain this," Zidane said, according to the Express.

"But we should not be looking for excuses, everyone in this squad is a Real Madrid player.

"We played well in the first half an hour but the game changed completely after they equalised.

"This has happened to us a number of times and I don't like it.

"We need to really analyse what is going wrong because any little thing can cause us lots of difficulties.

"Once we conceded the first goal, we couldn't get back into the game. A lot of things went against us today."
